ATV produced 313 editions of Inigo Pipkin and Pipkins between 1973 and 1981.   Unfortunately, only a handful of programmes officially survive in the ATV collection, which is now controlled by ITV.

However, after extensive research among private collectors and programme contributors I have been able to compile a list of 77 surviving programmes, the details of which follow in the table below. Amongst other detail, the VTR number, transmission date and format on which the recording is made are given.

This list will be updated after the new release of the  DVD set later in 2024.
